Take a look at the Rating for the GTR2 standalone cars.

After Weeks of many 9-10er Rating Cars,all cars now near 6 and every Day some "high-ratet" cars become 7-10 whorst-Votes.

Only the Cars from two Members are now over 8.

My BMW Skins,as example,become every day 7 (whorst) Votes. But not only my Skins. All Skins,they this day "high-rated". In the Moment,a car with 7,9 is a high rating car.

Only a question :).

Normal,i have better thinks to do,as take a look at the Ratings :)

(sorry for my bad english......greets from germany :) )

well now you made me look it seems stupid people who dont activate their accounts are going round voting 1 for a lot of files

whether they are not activating the account because its too hard for them to work out how, or if its a deliberate ploy to screw up the ratings I don't know.. either way I now changed the permissions for rating files so you have to be fully registered to vote, and I'll delete all the bad votes I can find

it will take a new vote for any affected file to reset it back to the correct rating though ;)

ignore that, I just wrote a little php script that went through all votes checking that the user exists/was properly registered and deleting them if not, then recalculated all the votes afterwards ...

as its deleted some 1200 votes by people who can't possibly have downloaded the files the ratings should be more accurate now :cool::

Thx Dan,

I thought I was imagining things as I saw on one track the average dropped by 0.5 after just one more vote :)
